I agree. They've done really well to stay competitive despite their lack of 4&5 star recruits. The coaching staff has taken a group of relative unknowns and it turned it into the best defense in the Pac12 and the oline has couple of early round prospects. I'm really excited to see what they do with Keller Chyrst behind the 2012 oline recruits.

I really hope they do good this year. I think they can win the pac12 easily but I don't think they make it to a National championship because the last half of their season is brutal and the beginning isn't a cake walk either.

I agree with everything you said, I think the future is very bright and as long as David Shaw sticks around I can guarantee Stanford will always field a great team. Also winning the Pac-12 will be tough because Stanford tends to grind games out and keep them close regardless of the opponent. Therefore leaving the door open for last minute upsets to mediocre squads. I'm hoping for another Pac-12 title, the BCS title would just be the icing on the cake. Kevin Hogan has to step it up this year and help carry this team, I hope he can keep that undefeated streak alive.
